In his holy sermon, Rai said that “from the sacrifices of the politicians, we can build a capable and productive state, a nation loved by its people, rich in heritage and proud of its history,” noting that these sacrifices can be a guarantee that challenges will be overcome.

He also stressed the need to build a modern democratic state that protects coexistence.
